I am super excited for the warm weather for lots of reasons, but I cannot wait to pimp out our balcony and porch with lots of lovely flowers and plants. Last year was our first spring and summer in our apartment and my first real attempt at gardening. I think after some trial and error, I now know what kind of sun we get on this side of the building... hopefully that means less dead flowers!

Here are some of the spring flowers I planted in May last year. Note the pretty blue flower boxes- Mike designed and built them and I picked the color and painted them!
